To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from JB in the closing obviously, but in the first part before the lunch break, I was actually impressed and agreeing with him on several points. And thinking, you know I may think she totally murdered her daughter and deserves to die, but he is actually bringing out important points for the reasonable doubt argument that a good defense attorney SHOULD point out. So I was like, ok not bad, he's actually being a lawyer right now. But...I think he got too many compliments from his team during lunch and decided to go wayyyyyy further than he needed to, and now he's gone completely off the rails. Fantasies!!! Conspiring experts! Vass is not a chemist! and he's off and running. Kind of like when you meet a delusional mentally ill person you don't know is in the midst of a delusion, and at first what they are saying makes sense and rational, and then the UFO abductions and conspiracy theories come out (when I was working on a legal intake line this would happen regularly) and you're like "ok WHOA, that was not where I was expecting that conversation to go."
I think the jury is thinking the same thing. He had them BEFORE lunch. He went over the line and I don't think they are going to go with him.
Did he just say the state had a 'desire for blood'? Really? To me he is showing no respect for the victim in this.
